Dunkin' Malkin over Rachael Ray Ad

Politically Uncorrect Donuts and Stupid Rightwing Blog Postings

BOSTON (AP) -- Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints
that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity
chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support
for Muslim extremism and terrorism.

OH SURE, that's what it is... oOo oOo

In the spot, Ray holds an iced coffee while standing in front of trees with pink blossoms.

oOo It's shocking that she's ALSO being so insensitive to the Japanese with such cherry-blossom trees in the ad. oOo And what's that in the background - some wierd flying saucer?!

oOo Now Asians, Americans, Muslims AND Martians are offeended... oOo oOo

I had something to say to Ms. Malkin over here and since before this I never knew she and her ilk were clogging the blogs with such nonsense, I still remain among "the clueless" as to why? anyone else pays them any attention. oOo oOo

Can Hip-Hop Wash Out it's Own Mouth?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Prominent U.S. hip-hop executive
Russell Simmons on Monday recommended eliminating the words
"bitch," "ho" and the "N-word" from the recording industry. "These three words should be considered with the same objections to obscenity as 'extreme curse words'," he said in a statement. [well, what rock has he and all the rest of the "crew" been under for so long...?] oOo oOo

Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam and a driving force behind the hop's huge commercialism, called for voluntary restrictions on the words and setting up an industry watchdog oOo to recommend guidelines for lyrical and visual standards. [I guess we shall listen and see. . . ] oOo


"Our internal discussions with industry leaders are not about censorship. Our discussions are about the corporate social responsibility of the industry oOo
to voluntarily show respect to African Americans and other people of color, African American women and to all women in lyrics and images," the statement from Simmons and Chavis said on Monday. [Whoops, does this mean "taking away my porno, too"?] oOo oOo
. . .

Well OK: so far so good, but not far enuff. oOo

How 'bout some street respec' for All Americans...people of Non-color...Asian women...Christian believers, not mockers...and anyone who actually knows and uses the true English language in a coherent manner.

oOo And elevate the status of true poets and talented lyricists who actually have something worthwhile to say in their art. oOo


Why shouldn't we hold Everyone to higher standards of (verbal and visual) behavior? oOo


Check out this article from Rob Preston, of informationweek.com:

Our society's capacity to rationalize and defend bad behavior is infinitely scalable. Radio host Don Imus lobs racially tinged insults...and then the apologists tell us what a charitable guy he is.


[NBC, after firing him, then has the nerve to air excerpts of the madman VTech killer's video and spoken diatribe a couple days later. Then, still not seeing any harm done, NBC plays a tape of Alec Baldwin raging on against his own daughter, (clearly a violation of privacy). This they make into a sensationalised self-righteous bit about how foul his verbal treatment of her is. Whatever the verbal abuse, it seems to be OK if it serves somebody's agenda!] oOo

Dare I say it - Hypocrites, the lot of them!! oOo oOo oO

On the Web, forum and blog posts are the cyber-equivalent of road rage--laced with profanity,insults and indimidation. But when an industry figure, Tim O'Reilly, calls for civility in the form of a voluntary blogging code of conduct, you'd think...that he'd proposed marshal law, hit squads and tribunals.
. . .

Sorry, but basic civility isn't an affront to the legacies of Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King, Jr. Cleaning up the incessant "f" bombs and mindless, thoughtless name-calling and threats that pollute the blogosphere [and music] "silences" no one's point of view. oOo

In fact, adhereing to [higher standards of expression] elevates one's point of view. oOo oOo

Why does all this matter? Because decency matters.

People, the Internet and, I believe, the Universe itself, all have a Memory.

oOo Didn't your mother ever say something like

"Is that something you want to be remembered for?!" oOo oOo



Well. . .? oOo

More Talk? Imus, Media and other CRap out there

Well it looks like I get to talk about Hypocrisy yet again (see Throwing Stones, below). I heard what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson had to say about the Imus affair -- and I basically agree. oOo [ Though mostly, we tune them out over their self-righteous slanted agendas. And they've still got one in this situation too.] oOo

[ Parental Advisory : explicit content ]
[sick gratuitous exploitive expression]

But if you see this marking anywhere, are we going to hold their feet to the fire now that Al and Jesse will supposedly lead a "crack-hoe-down" against indecency, hateful speech, excremental expression and blatant greed-driven money-mongering?!! [ Maybe the ACLU and NAACP and AFL-CIO Unions will get their hands dirty, too...] Hmmmm. oOo oOo

Lets see if there are any Outrages and Rants against the Establishment of Gross Ghetto Profiteering amongst CRap groups, shock-rock bands, heavy metal deathheads and Profane Screamers of every social/gender/ethnic stripe! [Yes, I know white people are to blame too, as in my earlier post on the Imus thing.]

And do you think it will only take about A WEEK? for hoards of sponsors, advertisers, huge media Congloms and Cartels to tear down THIS Trashy Trade in aural, verbal, visual, and sometimes "musical" Porn?

Hah! Go up against the Whore of Music Prostitution!?
Nah, I doubt it will happen so fast, if very little, at all. oOo

Oh, the mess we have come to "tolerate" is pervasive in this society, probably Europe as well; maybe Asia, but though they love all things West they may still have some Decency and personal restraint to shun our grossness. oOo oOo

We shall see -- you are known by your fruits. oOo
[ Sure, we know the producers, executives and sponsors "never knew, for all this time!" --and weren't outraged before-- about the crude, hateful, supposedly satirical things their talk-show personalities said/say Lo, these Many Years! ] Right. oOo oOo

Who's accountable- now that the cat's outta-the-bag - and we're Talking?

• The thieves bleeding our culture dry,


• the so-called (musical or visual) "artists" [ I shudder to even use the term! ],


• the producers, promoters, big media-mongers


• MTV, VH1, Fuse, whatever else TV and Web crap outlets


• distributors, retailers ["dealers"] oOo


• thugga-mugga youth sub-culture


• You and Me, the one's who get it, eat it up, "buy it."

oOo oOo Sure, all these. oOo oOo
